The Framework Protocol for an elder abuse coordinated tackle, impelled by the Familiar Policies and Citizenship Rights Secretariat, establishes the work guidelines for the elder abuse tackle and the involved professional coordination.

This is the first Framework Protocol to operate in an integral and coordinated way in all the Catalan territory for elder abuse cases. This protocol distinguishes on four intervention levels: prevention, detection, treatment and recovery; for two different fields: the domiciliary or home field and the institutional field.
